Aha. It's the second hit for sherlock tea but this is the person I found first on tumblr doing it: [link] Daunt, originally of SPN fandom, has also started doing it--not sure if it's Sherlock, or everyone's favourite new pet, Teen Wolf.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
What are the rules for things like this? Could he sue her and/or the publishing company for defamation or something like that?
I would think he would have to prove that she was lying for that to go anywhere. Based on his statement it doesn't sound like a complete fabrication.
Before rehearsal one day, there was a discussion in which David Prete talked about his portrayal in Eat, Pray, Love and being played by James Franco. He said that Gilbert did contact him and even sent a manuscript but that he didn't ask her to change anything.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I've heard that statements that are publishable in the US might not be in the UK because the burden of proof in libel (or slander or whatever) is different and publishers won't want to take the risk of being sued. I think I learned that from The Good Wife, so, salt well.
No, that is quite true, the UK's laws make it very easy to be sued for libel: [link]

I am so tickled that that exists. Even as I grumble that it could be easier to navigate.

The US women have had a really good track and field Olympics this year.
But, right now, I don't even have words for the Jamaican guys. That's just fucking amazing. All that, and with Asafa injured to boot. The anthem is going off in my head again.
When I was out doing groceries I swung by the intersection with the plane crash to see if I could see anything obvious, but not at the bits I looked at.

Because Americans saved the cheese eating surrender monkeys?
I am loving that there is at least one headline saying that the US women's 4x100 team beat Jamaica. I mean, that it's in the headline, not just in the article. They set the world record, and they beat Jamaica--both facts deemed important enough to not just be above the fold, but in bold type.
But the articles about the men's 4x100 seem to be being written more slowly than after the 200 yesterday. And the photos lagging way behind. There are no days off at the Olympics! What is this jokery???

Oh, hey, I think one of the relay running women is from around here. She lives and trains somewhere else, but grew up here, and I didn't grow up here, so it's a tenuous connection, but good for her!

Charlie Pierce on Paul Ryan as the Republican VP:
Paul Ryan is an authentically dangerous zealot. He does not want to reform entitlements. He wants to eliminate them. He wants to eliminate them because he doesn't believe they are a legitimate function of government. He is a smiling, aw-shucks murderer of opportunity, a creator of dystopias in which he never will have to live. This now is an argument not over what kind of political commonwealth we will have, but rather whether or not we will have one at all, because Paul Ryan does not believe in the most primary institution of that commonwealth: our government. The first three words of the Preamble to the Constitution make a lie out of every speech he's ever given. He looks at the country and sees its government as something alien that is holding down the individual entrepreneurial genius of 200 million people, and not as their creation, and the vehicle through which that genius can be channelled for the general welfare.
